Heres what happened next.
We need advice on where to stay and how to save money on tickets.
To my surprise, it suggested skipping the more expensive Park Hopper passes.
I appreciated the money-saving tips such as using discounted ticket websites and packing snacks.
Geminioffered a much more detailed response and suggested a hotel that I know will be great for our family.
It went much more in-depth in cost-saving advice, which is exactly what I wanted.
Winner:Gemini wins for the best money saving advice.
Its free but offers pay-to-play rides and plenty of restaurants and activity.
Immediately no on that one.
Gemini provided fewer suggestions on this one, which may not suit every budget.
Its analysis was less comprehensive, omitting value and moderate-tier options altogether.
Winner:ChatGPT wins for its budget-conscious and realistic approach to keeping everyone happy.
That order is exactly how I would have planned it.
The AI balanced must-see rides and included places to eat providing a mix of budget-friendly and experience-worthy.
It also suggested dining options such as Cinderellas Royal Table and provided realistic timing for navigating parks.
I was surprised that it suggested a water park, something I hadnt even considered.
It even offered advice on snagging last-minute reservations.
Plus, it suggested we dine with the characters at every meal.
ChatGPTexplanation was accurate but far less detailed.
It included how to prioritize rides likeRise of the ResistanceandFlight of Passage.
It offered strategies for booking time slots and avoiding bottlenecks.
Winner:Gemini wins for helping this former cast member learn something new.
Packing and prep
Prompt:What should I pack for a Walt Disney World trip with three kids?
Can you include tips for weather, snacks, and essentials for long park days?
It also suggested tips for managing young kids, such as packing small toys for lines.
Geminislist was helpful but almost too extensive.
If we brought everything this AI suggested we would be too bogged down to enjoy ourselves.
Winner:ChatGPT offered a reasonable amount of items a family of five would need for our trip.
It also suggested visiting resorts for unique experiences like Wilderness Lodges campfire.
It also suggested my all-time favorite suggestion in EPCOT of trying sodas around the world.
Geminioffered an equally extensive list of tips but none of them were hidden gems.
Definitely a solid hack, but it missed lesser-known tips that could elevate the experience.
Winner:ChatGPT for showing up with some seriously cool tips.
Gemini, while helpful in some areas, fell short in providing the same depth of information and personalization.
For families planning their Disney adventure, ChatGPT proves to be the ultimate guide.
